FSWer's Trainning Reports

Hello everyone!!!! I just want to let you all know that due to some problem with Skatingforums restricting me access to the site,I am moving my Off-Ice/ On-Ice Trainning Reports here,and starting a whole new sticky thread. So please keep checking back here for any updates on my trainning. Here's the first Off-Ice Trainning Report....

My Staff dropped me off at the Rink a little after 11:00. I checked in with my Skatepasses and signed in. I then went and got my Skates and Gaurds on. I then went in (the Blue Rink) near Noon, and got on the Ice. I must say to you all that I have now mastered my Long-Distance Glide,and I practiced some more on it today. Along with my 2-Foot Spin. I hope to return to the Rink more in Dec.

I went to the Rink today with a Family I know. We got there a little after Noon (when Pulic Skate Started) and went to check-in at the Desk. I then went in to get my skates on...while my friends went to get theres. After we were all on the ice...my friend took pics of us all skating. We were sharing the Rink with a Birthday Party. So there was quite a Rink-full of Skaters!!!! I tried some spins and some Ice-Dancing. i also learned today that it's NOT EASY to skate with a little kid (my friend's kid LOL in this case) and keep BOTH of you balanced at the same time. Does anyone have any tips n how o do this right? Thanks.

Were you holding the little kid's hand? That's hard, because the kid is so much shorter. When you have to reach down for their hand, it can pull you off balance. I help little kids by skating behind them and holding them underneath both their arms. I have to keep my feet pretty wide apart, and bend my knees A LOT to make myself shorter. Even so, it's really hard on my back! When I take my little grandson skating, I have to keep trading him back and forth with my daughter because our backs get so sore.

Spiral-Leg-Lifts = I think I got my Left Leg higher. I tried to use the mirror in my Bathroom today to see how high my Legs REALLY went. But I don't believe that there's enough counter in my Bathroom to get my Legs back enough. So I had to do them in my Kitchen.

Kick-Ups = I got my Legs the higest they'd go. I've been trying to lean back while doing my Kick-Ups (or Leg-Lifts) to get my Legs even higher. But I can't do it.

My Push-Ups and Sit-Ups are both getting easier.

Sit-Toe-Touches = Touched my toes on my Left Foot.

I also started a new Off-Ice-Training excerise today. I'm doing Back-Ups. Upside- Down Push-Ups. Which I find easy to do. What do you all think my Friends? I want all your opinions on how I've been doing with Off-Ice-Training,and how far do you all think I've come with it and as a Skater all around?

I just started Back-Ups (upside-down Push-Ups) as another training exerise today,and want advice on how to be sure I'm doing them right. Whith me hands flat on the floor behind me...should my FEET be flat on the floor too? Or up on their toes? Thanks.

I got to the Rink about 10 of Noon. I went in to register with my Skatepasses and then went to sit down to put on my Skates and Gaurds. I got into the Rink a little after 12. 10 after I think...and sat down to remove my Gaurds and got on the ice. There was a good crowd of Skaters today. Including a Birthday Party!!!! I practiced lifting one foot up in back of me. As well as one Leg up in front. I did a little Ice-Dancing,as well as skated around the Rink. I'm not sure when I return. But keep checking back here for updates.
